We Must Have Been Good This Year

Our tree before our sweet angels got to it. We must have been good this year because Santa left us lots of goodies!Looks like Santa took a few bites of the cookies and drank the milk we left for him. He also used the special universal key that Ma gave us for him to use. Since we live in an apartment we don't have a chimney. We leave the key outside for Santa so he can get in to leave the presents. When he's finished, he leaves the key on the table. Thanks, Ma!

Here is what happened when Miller opened a pretty heavy gift and the paper gave way but the present stayed put.

Lorelai's most used new gift to-date is her V-Reader. She adores reading and this is her opening the accompanying book and yelling "Dora!"

MIller got two computers~one with a computer keyboard and telephone and the other with a piano keyboard and microphone.

One of Lorelai's favorite gifts was the Disney Princess Encyclopedia.

The joint gift that the kids received this year was the Scooby-Doo Mystery Mansion. I have been made fun of by several people for suggesting that Santa bring them this gift, but it has been a hit with everyone~young and old!!

Miller practicing his numbers and letters.

Lorelai asked Santa for a big Tinkerbell and a small Tinkerbell. This bust of Tinkerbell fulfilled the requirement of the big Tinkerbell. She came with wings~which as you can see are for the little girl to wear~and a necklace which doubles as a bracelet for the girl, also.

Here's Lorelai deciding which stickers she'll place where on her new "big" Tinkerbell.

Looks like they all ended up on her forehead. It's kind of cool that it looks like Tinkerbell is wearing the wings, but they're still on Lorelai. :)
